      looks like some more configuration work needed.

      1. part way scrolling through a list of posts suddenly there is some refresh looping causing the entire page from the advert on down to jump back and forth (up and down really) making things unusable.

      2. the "vote" column might be better on the outside column so accessing the last post link isn't potentially cutoff from the view when the browser window is smaller than (perhaps) optimal for the site?

    • RE: How to remove non-existing but listed Material Libraries?

      and then, when you update to 2025, the default is into the app data\roaming directories, but still mysteriously mapped to the old 2024 path - so you end up with duplicated entries if you copy from the 2024 into the new home paths in 2025... very confusing - the preferences setting should be honored as-is or port the old path into the preferences... i just spent an hour trying to figure out why i was getting duplicates when i copied over to the new preference settings... please fix this in the next update...

      @Rich-O-Brien doesn't look like there is an option to edit signature in the settings or profile areas (found via the vertical triple dots).

      also, the "your posts" is called "best posts" - maybe call it "latest posts" or "recent posts" as i'm sure not all my most recent posts are the "best" ones πŸ™‚

    • RE: Beautiful Amsterdam

      the secret is to make sure you're taking advantage of the mass transit system and weekends. i was fortunate enough to spend about 9 months of a year there and walking around on the weekends, and playing in the open mics around the city (thereby meeting people as well πŸ˜„). it's not a big city (like London for example) so on a weekend you can cover quite a lot of territory and really see the small shops and restaurants etc that are missed when taking taxis... renting a bike is nice as well but there is a "stolen bike" problem (mainly the city takes the bikes then resells them -- but that's a different discussion πŸ˜„ )

    • RE: Import he NCS color system from .ase-file in SU

      there are sources for the NCS colors and there are also online and github converters to get to rgb or hex which as Rich has pointed out could be imported from a text file.
      e.g. source https://www.paintcolourchart.com/ncs-colors (which shows corresponding rgb, hex)
      e.g. https://github.com/m90/ncs-color

    • RE: Medeek Wall Plugin

      for some reason, many "metric" countries are using different building codes and material sizes from the others. whenever i start a studio design for someone - first check - get all the building codes and material sizing for that country established before beginning the actual design work. early on (~20 years ago) i made the mistake of assuming all metric countries were "standardized"... then after doing all the construction docs, during review the builder pointed out all the wrong dimensions on the materials, code-prohibited practices or confused one etc etc... needless to say another 3 weeks to fix it all...

      simpler is better for the model. same when you get to things like decoupled collars, etc where it is possible to get crazy with geometry whereas i think most would be interested in a) good models w/ schematic options in wireframe mode, b) fairly accurate calculations/stats on flow and frictions, and c) parts list...

    • RE: Medeek Floor

      looking good. also - there is some "clumping" of members on the left-hand side of the right-hand chase. likely due to having a second change and the sizing of the middle truss members (maybe instead a long one and clumped one, make two even one as i think this is how they would be manufactured)

    • RE: Sketchup Files Preferences is not working

      it's less the risk of updates and more that it's forcing the program data folders to be rebuilt EVERY F'ING TIME i double click on an skp file. and it's ignoring both the preference settings AND the manual edits on the private preferences json file (and as a note, the private file does not have any thing other than my appdata folders for the materials and material browser, styles and style browser, and component and component browser)

      so there is some special magic happening to "helpfully fix" my install every time. this is not the behaviour in the 2024 version nor the earlier 2025. so someone changed the behaviour, adding things like "would you like to purge your model before saving? it can help improve performance" -- i get it. there are people who will f-up their basic installation so "self-healing" can be useful. but simply ignoring or overriding my settings (used for years mind you) is problematic.

      please fix this.

    • RE: Sketchup Files Preferences is not working

      so, checking the private one - there were folder locations from SU 2021, 2022, 2023 listed. maybe we can remove extraneous folders (the numbered ones) when installing a new version?

    • RE: Sketchup Files Preferences is not working

      the custom folders have been in the same appdata locations for over 10 years and more. when did SU decide that i could no longer set the directory for them? because according to the preferences window, i can set them (and these are the locations that sometime in the distant past SU set them up initally).

    • RE: Sketchup Files Preferences is not working

      as a note - removing the .style and .skm files from the materials and style program data folders w/o removing the subdirectories, apparently keeps the SU install-checker-annoyer-thingie from doing the install process. so it seems like it's only looking at the folders to determine if the app needs to install the files into the non-preferred folders...

    • Sketchup Files Preferences is not working

      SU 2025

      for some reason, even though i specify the preferences for my components, materials, and styles, if i double click on a SKP file, it reinstalls components, materials, and styles into the program data folder instead of the user app data folder.

      the preferences are set to point ot the user app data folders but it is also pointing to the program data folders. this results in duplicated entries in the materials list (very annoying) and removing the materials in the program data folder causes the re-install.

      any reasons why this happens and how to correct it? after 20+ years of using this program, this is the first time i've had to battle with the file preferences.

    • RE: Medeek Floor

      i think this is a good solution - otherwise you'd have to do all the other computations for where existing parallel joists are located. whereas here, you let the user crate the extensions on the header as needed or desired. cheers!

    • RE: Medeek Floor

      i think the one double on the right side needs to extend to the next joist. the trimmer is ok where it is to size the opening, but structurally always best to have the joists and headers linked.
